Re: Put up or Shut up.

this was my first board. something like 30", 26" WB, 11" max width, and an ungodly 3/4" of concave. I'm calling it a Bullpup, no tail to speak of and with that concave, you can ride barefoot and carve like nobody's business. Foot cramps are likely, though...lol. Designed the shape in Illustrator, wanted something to get around campus that was small and still had the width and WB of a larger board. Regretting the lack of a tail, but that'll soon be fixed, along with a reduction in concave.

Re: Put up or Shut up.

I'll put up...
This board is my newest project and my first attempt at fiber glassing. The cut out and design was done in one day, and also, I learned never to fiberglass before cutting out also the fiberglass is kinda fubar.. but hey it was my first try, sorry ! :-p The shape is inspired by the Loaded Fish so I dubbed this board "The Guppy"

Re: Put up or Shut up.

these are what ive done so far starting from the left, this board was a cut down of my first build that broke. it has a mild concave that is pleasing to the feat when riding to the pool in the summer . the next one was my second build that was meant to be a drop deck but i forgot to clamp down the ends while it was in the bag so the drop is not as solid as i would like it to be but none the less a really nice concave. the next one was my first vlam and third build it was realy fun to ride until it cracked. the last one was my fourth build and second vlam it was also my first dropthrough unfortunatly it cracked to so i didnt even want to waist any time finishing it so i just left it as is. i have another board drying from paint to bad its not for me im really glad with the turn out ill post pics of it when iv put polly on it, sorry the pics are not in order

Re: Put up or Shut up.

here you gooo!!!!

although proabably warranted, this thread does sortof take some of the self- esteem away from people just building their first boards or thinking about it.... I knew I knew alot about woodworking and what would and wouldnt work before I actually made my first board.

This is my first... I am int the process of building another but this is uber stable even at reasonably high speeds
